Hi I get the same mous-freezes that Boyd does. The pointer moves, but it never changes shape, and clicks are ignored. A fix is to go to a virtual console and kill swriter3. The app does not die; when I come back to the graphical screen, there is an OK box with the message "cannot exit now, wait until OLE nad background printing are finished". (Words are paraphrased and inaccurate). Printing does not work for me. The machine takes a _hell_ of a long time, beeps once or twice, says it is printing, but nothing happens. My machine is a 486DX50 with 16MB of ram, and it swaps like nobody's business when StarOffice apps run. (I'm sure the fact that I have SCSI disks help!)
